<p>[QUOTE=&quot;User 67, post: 15890, member: 67&quot;]You aren&#039;t going to see jet beads this small (seed beads) and if you did find tiny jet beads they would be used in jewelry not embroidery or embellishments. In rare instances the black seed beads will be a material other than glass, like Bakelite, Gutta Percha or composition.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same goes for buttons. If you can find an actual jet button (you won&#039;t), it would be a prize. Jet is a somewhat fragile material, generally relegated only for jewelry and unsuited for buttons, though there is a possibility that decorative (none functioning) buttens were made of jet, or jet encased in a metal button mount. The Victorian ladies&#039; magazines and fashion journals often refer to &#039;jet&#039; when in fact they mean the color black, or some sort of imitation jet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
